Identifying Eucalypts - One Day Workshop Saturday 29 November 2025.
Join passionate botanist and educator Paul Gadsby (www.paulgadsby.com.au/) in a hands-on workshop designed for those looking to sharpen their eucalypt identification and taxonomy skills. With over 1,000 species, eucalypts can be famously tricky to ID - this immersive course breaks it down using localised samples and practical techniques.
Places are limited so book now! Its free for regular volunteers with the Arboretum, Pearl Beach Bushcare and Pearl Beach Dune Care! Please book for catering purposes.
The workshop consists of engaging presentations, specimen analysis, and field practice. Ideal for ecologists, bush regenerators, and keen plant enthusiasts. You'll gain skills in:
recognising key ID features; using simplified keys and botanical descriptions; and
understanding eucalypt ecology and plant communities.
Your ticket includes a copy of Paul Gadsby's Eucalypt Features Guide. www.paulgadsby.com.au/product-page/eucalypt-features-guide
